Ferraro admits financial dealings were ' sloppy'
Ferraro
NEW YORK ( UPI) - Geraldme Ferraro
acknowledged Tuesday that some of her and
her husband's financial dealings are " slop-py"
but said she has divulged more than any
other candidate in U S history and it shows
she did nothing wrong
The Democratic vice presidential nominee
also revealed at a lengthy news conference
that she has decided to give up her position
as an officer in her husband John Zaccaro's
real estate company a point of intense
controversy since she claimed she had no
knowledge of her husband's finances
She acknowledged mistakes in her hand-ling
of the financial controversy that has
snowballed since her triumphant nomination
last month, but she said the reams of finan-cial
documents she released Monday proved
she has nothing to hide. She also defended
her decision to keep her husband's income
secret while she was in Congress.
" It's sloppy, I grant you that," Ferraro
J said, addmg, " At no time did I violate any
trust placed in me by my constituents "
Ferraro and her husband, who are in the
40- perc- ent tax bracket, made public tax re-turns
back to 1978 and a net worth statement
showed them to be multimillionaires
worth $ 3 78 million as compared with $ 2 1
million for Vice President George Bush The
documents were filed with the Federal Elec-tion
Commission Monday
" I think what you have received is proba-bly
more financial disclosures than you have
from any other candidate in the history of
the United States and from any other
spouse," she told reporters earlier Tuesday.
Two of her accountants and three Mondale
campaign advisers met with reporters to an-swer
technical questions before Ferraro held
an early evening news conference, which
lasted almost two hours.
" It is the most amount of information that
has ever been given by a candidate for any
office in this country,' ' she said.
She defended her claim that she had nei-ther
knowledge nor benefit from P. Zaccaro
Co , even if she was an officer with a share
worth one- thir- d of the business. For six
years Ferraro has claimed an exemption on
congressional disclosure forms from listing
her husband's financial status
She said she only became involved in the
business after her husband's brother and fa-ther
died of cancer and the couple began to
worry about what would happen in the event
of Zaccaro's death
She said the decision to file separate tax
returns instead of joint forms for the last five
years cost them at least $ 6,000 in additional
taxes. She winced in recalling the $ 53,459
check she had to write Monday to cover a
1978 underpayment blamed on an accoun-tant's
error that was uncovered in recent
scrutiny of her returns Accountants say she
will have to pay another $ 17,000 in city and
state taxes plus interest .
Airily, she dismissed questions of whether
she would bow out of the Democratic race
" I consider myself an asset, I consider us
a winning team, and I will invite you to the
White House in January," she said
Answering calls fuels stress of job
Firemen battle work- relate- d tension, as well as fires
ByGragWais:
Mltsourlan staff writer
Even when you're sound asleep, you never
can relax.
Possibly you saved a life the previous day,
and your mind is still buzzing from the feel-ing
of a job well done. Maybe you watched
someone die despite your best efforts Or
perhaps activity has been slow lately, and
you suspect that things are just too quiet
You are torn between anticipation and dread
of the electronic signal that announces an-other
call for the Columbia Fire Depart-ment
Two loud musical tones blare through the
dark station as the overhead lights blaze on
in the sleeping room. Firefighters listen for a
voice proclaiming their destination:
" Engine 1, Engine 3, Ladder 3, Squad 1,
battalion chief. Automatic alarm, Boone
Hospital Center."
The firefighters rouse themselves to an-swer
the summons, never knowing quite
what awaits them. Even with the false
alarms common at large hospitals and busi-nesses,
a routine call can never be regarded
as routine no matter how many times a
fire company has geared up for the worst,
only to be called off before reaching the loca-tion.
" It's very hard to stay prepared con-stantly
when you have the hospital calls,"
says Ken Owens, battalion chief for the de-partment's
third shift. " The frequency of the
alarms has an impact on the mental state of
the men because it lulls them into a false
sense of security. It can be hard to deal with
attuneat"
I
Fire Lt. Dan Spry of Station No 3 one of
Columbia's seven fire stations covering a 43- square--
mile
area admits the false alarms
are a concern
" It's a nightmare," he says " It can be-come
a ' cry wolf' syndrome You're there
anticipating the worst and knowing that the
call is probably due to a malfunctioning au-tomatic
alarm I can see a certain number of
false alarms with any system But we follow
set procedures for all potential fires. ' '
Spry recalls an incident at Boone Hospital
Center when an elderly patient was smoking
in an oxygen- ennche- d environment. The cig-arette
embers mixed with the oxygen in the
air, burning the patient and his bedclothes.
Although hospital personnel had extin-guished
the flames when the fire department
arrived, smoke was still a problem.
" The actual panic of people in a smoke- fille- d
atmosphere can present more difficul-ty
than a fire," Spry says.
Paul Sanders, who drives Engine No. 4 to
alarms, remembers a different hospital inci-dent
When a $ 55,000 machine at Ellis Fis- ch- el
State Cancer Center burned one day,
firefighters had assumed they were running
on a false alarm, but they arrived to find
flaming tubes and wiring.
" From now on we'll take these calls as
real Ores," Sanders says he determined
from that experience.
Fire Capt. Marvin Sapp at Station No. 1
sees false alarms as a means of keeping fire-fighters
sharp.
Owens thinks that the firemen like to be
" out there doing something," but even the
false calls present a danger.
" The alarms get the adrenaline flowing,
i
but if you get there and nothing happens,
there is a possibility of getting mentally rus-ty."
Medical emergencies constitute a large
portion of the calls received by the Columbia
Fire Department The newest station, No. 7,
located near Providence Road and Nifong
Boulevard, gets about 52 percent of its calls
in this category, according to Fire Lt. Gerry
Elder. The growth of that area of town prac- tiall- y
ensures additional auto accidents.
For many years, the fire department re-sponded
only to occasional " resuscitator"
calls; now firefighters are dispatched to al-most
all ambulance calls in the city. Every
firefighter must complete an emergency
medical training course, plus continuing ed-ucation
classes twice a month.
" We get everything," says Owens, " from
cut fingers, overdoses, strokes and heat
problems to bumps and bruises.
" There are a lot of emotions that go along"
with this job," Owens says. He remembers
being called to an accident where the rescue
personnel did everything they could to save a
girl. She talked to them the whole tune, and
the men returned to the station satisfied that
they had done then best It appeared she
was going to pull through. Later, they found
out the victim died.
" It's always harder when children are in-volved,"
Owens says. " Deaths stay with you
and you take your frustrations home."
The stress of the job can carry wer into
family life. Fire department personnel must
sometimes be away from their families dur-ing
holidays or other special occasions. Also,

GOP convention
passes battle plan
Ford unleashes on Mondale
DALLAS ( UPI) - A unified Republican
convention Tuesday adopted a conservative
re- elect- ion battle plan for President Reagan
and heard Gerald Ford denounce Democrat
Walter Mondale as a leftover from a failed
administration
Ford said for " four devastating years"
Mondale and President Jimmy Carter
" worked closely together for policies and
programs that proved cruelly unfair to ev-erybody
from young Americans taken hos-tage
abroad to older Americans impov-erished
by inflation "
Ford was scheduled to speak a few hours
after the GOP convenbon approved a plat-form
that calls for a stronger military and a
return to school prayer but opposes new
taxes and abortion
Sen Robert Dole of Kansas and Transpor-tation
Secretary Elizabeth Dole also ad-dressed
the Republican delegates, telling
them Reagan due to be renominated to-night
has delivered on his promises for a
better Amenca
One of the strongest denunciations of the
Democratic ticket came from Rep Jack
Kemp of New York, one of the parry's 1988
presidential hopefuls
" Today Mr. Mondale and his party's plat-form
have nothing to offer but fear," he said
" Fear of the future. Fear of growth Fear of
global leadership.
Millions of Americans no longer feel at
home in a parh whose leaders see no differ-ences
between the Soviet invasion of Af-ghanistan
and the American liberation of
Grenada," Kemp said ' The leaders of the

College enrollment down
Decrease in students hurts city's economy
By Debra Tibbetts
Mlssourlan staff writer
UMC's total enrollment this fall could
be more than 1,000 below the fall 1983 lev-el,
according to projections by the Office
of Institutional Research and Planning
Projections call for 22,960 students this
fall, compared with 24,059 a year ago Co-lumbia
College officials say they expect
enrollment to remain about the same as
last year at approximately 685 stu-dents
But like UMC, Stephens College ex-pects
to see a decline in its 1983- 8- 4 enroll-ment,
which stood at 1,100.
The birth rate nearly two decades ago
is to blame, said UMC admissions direc-tor
Gary Smith, adding that the trend can
be expected to continue during the next
severalyears. A decline of more than 3,- 0- 00
from a fall 1981 high of 24,774 is antic-ipated
by 1986, which is as far ahead as
the institutional researchers have' pro-jected.
Duane Stuckey, vice chancellor for ad-ministrative
services, was unavailable
for comment on how a decline in enroll-ment
might affect UMC programs and
staffing. But Pat Daugherty, Columbia's
director of planning and development,
said the effect on the city's economy
could be dramatic.
" Any decline m the University enroll-ment
has a negative effect on the city,"
Daugherty said
Most area businesses report modest de-clines
Nancy Duncan, property manager
5
for Columbia Property Management, said
the current demand for apartments is
only slightly behind previous pre- regis- trati- on
periods
But they agree with Daugherty's pre-diction
" If there are 3,000 fewer students
that means that there will be 3,000 fewer
renters, 3,000 fewer people buying food to
eat, buying clothing and gasoline Busi-nesses
will all feel the impact "
" We view the University as an indus-try,"
Daugherty said, adding that the city
does everything in its power to help UMC
lure students to Columbia ' If we can't
corral students, we can create new jobs,
and that will have an off- setti- ng influ-ence
Our job is to build up other indus-try."
By 1992, Missouri public high schools
are expecting 17,000 fewer graduates than
a decade earlier, when graduation figures
stood at nearly 60,000
The Columbia Chamber of Commerce i
is taking steps to attract as many of these "
students as possible, according to vice j
president June Dodd For example, she
points out, the chamber will conduct tours '
of Columbia campuses when the Missouri
Guidance Association meets here in Octo--
ber. '
" We'll be selling the community so that
the counselors will have a good taste in
their mouths about Columbia," Dodd
said, " and will encourage students to look
into the schools here." I
